The Railway Modeller and 009 news have recently published tributes to the 75th anniversary of the Craig and Mertonford Railway - the pioneer of what evolved in to 009 narrow gauge modelling. Originated by the late Philip Hancock, or PDH as he was known, it opened a new field of modelling for many. l had the privilege of meeting PDH briefly at Leeds many years ago and also corresponded occasionally with him over many years. He was, as far as I am concerned, a mentor who shaped my thoughts and what few skills I have developed in the art of railway modelling.
I feel that it is worth bringing this pioneer layout and its creator to the notice of you all, with a dash of personal memories, at the time of this anniversary.
Thanks,
Roger (Just a fair bit older than the C&M, .)
